:00:25. > :00:28.A last week of campaigning in the French Presidential election

:00:29. > :00:33.in the countdown to Sunday's crucial round of voting.

:00:34. > :00:35.And cuts to bus services in England and Wales,

:00:36. > :00:59.we talk to those those who depend on subsidised routes.

:01:00. > :01:03.Dorset Police say they are hunting at least two suspects

:01:04. > :01:07.after a businessman was shot dead by suspected burglars

:01:08. > :01:10.61-year-old Guy Hedger was fatally wounded at his home

:01:11. > :01:20.Let's go live there now to our correspondent Duncan Kennedy.

:01:21. > :01:33.What is the latest? Well, his house is down this road behind me and it

:01:34. > :01:36.has been is seen if you delete activity all morning. We are not

:01:37. > :01:41.allowed near because forensic teams have been here, nearly two dozen

:01:42. > :01:48.police officers turned up as what is now a huge investigation. Mr Hedger

:01:49. > :01:52.was shot by injury does in the early hours of yesterday morning. Police

:01:53. > :01:58.say, they do not know exactly what what happened, he was shot where he

:01:59. > :02:01.later died from his injuries. They are looking for anyone who might

:02:02. > :02:05.have been a witness or heard or seen anything, they are appealing for

:02:06. > :02:08.witnesses but they do not yet know exactly what has happened here. They

:02:09. > :02:11.are carrying out a police investigation at the house and there

:02:12. > :02:15.will be a press conference from Dorset Police raid on this

:02:16. > :02:22.afternoon. We know he was in the house with at least one other person

:02:23. > :02:25.believed to be his partner, that partner is believed to be deeply

:02:26. > :02:29.affected by what happened although they were uninjured. They think

:02:30. > :02:33.their were two intruders involved in the incident, at least one of them

:02:34. > :02:36.carrying a firearm, the police are looking for the firearm is part of

:02:37. > :02:41.the investigation. They are not yet clear about the motivation. This is

:02:42. > :02:44.a highly exclusive area, just on the outskirts of Bournemouth where most

:02:45. > :02:52.of the houses are detached, they have high hedges and electronic

:02:53. > :02:55.gates, it is an affluent area, and it is possible but it was motivated

:02:56. > :03:00.by burglary but police are not confirming that. We have had in the

:03:01. > :03:06.last few minutes a statement from Mr Hedger's employers, he worked for an

:03:07. > :03:10.educational trust which runs schools in the area. In its statement it

:03:11. > :03:14.said that it is shocked and deeply saddened by the passing of Guy

:03:15. > :03:19.Hedger. It goes on to say, he was one of the founding directors of the

:03:20. > :03:23.trust, when it was formed in 2012, he became a director and he will be

:03:24. > :03:28.deeply missed by all those who worked with him. So early stages of

:03:29. > :03:32.the investigation. Many officers are now arriving at the scene, they are

:03:33. > :03:37.expected to be hit the rest of today. -- day are expected to be

:03:38. > :03:40.here on the rest of the day. Three women have been arrested

:03:41. > :03:42.on suspicion of terror offences The arrests are being linked

:03:43. > :03:45.to the counter-terrorism operation that saw a woman shot and injured

:03:46. > :03:48.in Willesden in north A total of ten people

:03:49. > :03:51.have now been arrested in connection with what's known

:03:52. > :03:53.as the Harlesden Road Social media companies have been

:03:54. > :03:57.accused of a "disgraceful" failure in their efforts to tackle terrorist

:03:58. > :04:00.propaganda and hate speech online. The Commons Home Affairs Select

:04:01. > :04:02.Committee says the firms are putting more effort

:04:03. > :04:04.into protecting their profits Google, Facebook and Twitter

:04:05. > :04:21.have previously defended According to the MPs' report,

:04:22. > :04:25.illegal content, including sexualised images of children, had

:04:26. > :04:29.not been removed quickly enough from the website of social media

:04:30. > :04:34.companies. Despite repeated requests for this to be done. The home

:04:35. > :04:38.affairs committee had taken evidence from Facebook, Twitter and Google,

:04:39. > :04:44.which owns YouTube. The companies have billions of users around the

:04:45. > :04:48.world. MPs have now lost patience. I think the richest and biggest

:04:49. > :04:53.companies in the world have both the ability and the responsibility to

:04:54. > :04:56.make sure that this kind of illegal and dangerous material is removed. I

:04:57. > :05:01.do not think they are taking this seriously enough, and I think they

:05:02. > :05:04.need to. The MPs suggest fines, potentially millions of pounds, the

:05:05. > :05:09.companies which do not remove posts enough. They are also proposing that

:05:10. > :05:16.companies pay for police to investigate online material

:05:17. > :05:21.suspected of being illegal. But is it really possible to quickly spot

:05:22. > :05:25.extremist material, like this jihadist recruitment video, amid the

:05:26. > :05:30.millions of posts being put up on social media sites every day? There

:05:31. > :05:33.is certainly more that companies can do and they themselves have

:05:34. > :05:36.acknowledged that. They could be improving takedown times, partnering

:05:37. > :05:43.with each other to flag content across platforms, but we should also

:05:44. > :05:46.be careful. The way that systems and platforms work is that they have a

:05:47. > :05:53.limited liability for the content on there. Much like the post of this

:05:54. > :05:57.cannot steam open every single envelope to see if criminals are

:05:58. > :06:00.sending messages to each other. So at the moment social media company

:06:01. > :06:03.is our reliant on their users reporting what they consider to be

:06:04. > :06:13.illegal material. And for the MPs that wrote the report today, they

:06:14. > :06:14.are not accepting that and they expect the tech giants to do much

:06:15. > :06:16.more. Downing Street says it doesn't

:06:17. > :06:17.recognise an account published in a German newspaper

:06:18. > :06:20.of a supposedly fractious dinner between the Prime Minister and

:06:21. > :06:22.the European Commission President, The newspaper reported

:06:23. > :06:28.there were sharp disagreements about how quickly a deal could be

:06:29. > :06:31.reached over the rights of British and EU citizens and how

:06:32. > :06:33.much the UK owed the EU. Number Ten described it

:06:34. > :06:35.as a constructive meeting. Our political correspondent

:06:36. > :06:46.Leila Nathoo reports. No love lost between the Prime

:06:47. > :06:50.Minister and the European Commission's President Jean

:06:51. > :06:55.Claude-Juncker last week. A chance to get together in private before

:06:56. > :06:58.the 27th EU states agreed that Brexit glaciations position. But

:06:59. > :07:05.behind the door, how did the meeting go? The influential German newspaper

:07:06. > :07:07.has published an account of the dinner from anonymous sources at the

:07:08. > :07:12.European Commission. The report paints a picture of a difficult

:07:13. > :07:16.encounter, with the two at odds over Britain's EU divorce Bill and help

:07:17. > :07:20.the future relation ship will play out. Jean-Claude Juncker apparently

:07:21. > :07:23.left, saying he was ten times more sceptical than he was when he

:07:24. > :07:36.arrived. In a statement, Downing Street said...

:07:37. > :07:41.On the election campaign Trail, Brexit is the backdrop. And the

:07:42. > :07:48.Liberal Democrats wants to play a role. The revelations overnight show

:07:49. > :07:51.Theresa May being in the astonishing arrogance and complacency, that she

:07:52. > :07:55.feels that somehow the lack of any kind of deal, no free trade deal, no

:07:56. > :07:58.cooperation of police and security, that is somehow acceptable to

:07:59. > :08:04.families up and down this country. Never mind how we voted last June,

:08:05. > :08:08.that is for every individual, but for the country, we deserved a good

:08:09. > :08:11.deal. Labour says Theresa May has underestimated the Quebec city of

:08:12. > :08:15.the talks and her bridge is putting the economy at -- the complexity of

:08:16. > :08:18.the talks and her approach is putting the economy at risk. You

:08:19. > :08:21.start at the basis that you want to reach an agreement, and that you

:08:22. > :08:25.have shared interests and values. Have a very important trading

:08:26. > :08:29.relationship with Europe. If you start on that basis and show respect

:08:30. > :08:33.you are more likely to get a good deal. If you start with a megaphone

:08:34. > :08:37.and calling people silly names, it is not a great start to anything.

:08:38. > :08:41.Meanwhile, the SNP accused the Tories of chaotic leadership over

:08:42. > :08:48.Brexit. The remaining 27 EU states are uniting to make sure Brexit

:08:49. > :08:50.works for them. But Theresa May says she still confident she can get the

:08:51. > :08:53.best deal for Britain. Labour has promised a consumer

:08:54. > :08:55.rights revolution for renters in England if it wins the general

:08:56. > :08:58.election, with the introduction of new legal standards

:08:59. > :08:59.for rented homes. The proposals include

:09:00. > :09:01.requirements for safe wiring and appliances,

:09:02. > :09:03.freedom from damp and The Conservatives say the plans

:09:04. > :09:25.could increase people's rent. The two remaining candidates in the

:09:26. > :09:31.French presidency are holding rallies ahead of the election at the

:09:32. > :09:32.weekend. Emanuel Macron, the centrist, has a strong poll lead

:09:33. > :09:39.over Marine Le Pen. Less than a week to make up a gap in

:09:40. > :09:45.the polls and Marine Le Pen is looking to consolidate supporters in

:09:46. > :09:50.her key workers, working men and women who find themselves victims of

:09:51. > :09:53.globalisation, the EU and the world of finance. TRANSLATION: I will

:09:54. > :09:57.protect businesses by making them less vulnerable to globalisation and

:09:58. > :10:02.I will protect jobs and stop them from moving abroad. Across town,

:10:03. > :10:07.another May Rally. This one pulled together Marine Le Pen's opponents

:10:08. > :10:16.in the left-wing trade unions. The unions here are calling on people to

:10:17. > :10:20.out and vote for Marine Le Pen's rival, Emanuel Macron, to keep

:10:21. > :10:25.Marine Le Pen out. But the question is, how many working-class voters

:10:26. > :10:28.are interested in that message because for many people who vote

:10:29. > :10:32.left traditionally in France, Emanuel Macron is just as bad or

:10:33. > :10:39.worse than Marine Le Pen. I am here to say to all of my compatriots,

:10:40. > :10:45.vote Macron, even if you do not like him very much. A former banker,

:10:46. > :10:51.programmed location, Emanuel Macron knows he is not the natural choice

:10:52. > :10:55.for working-class voters. But he acknowledged their concerns about

:10:56. > :10:59.the EU. The dysfunctions of the European Union are no more

:11:00. > :11:09.sustainable. So I do consider that my mandate the day after will be the

:11:10. > :11:11.same for the European Union and our European party.

:11:12. > :11:15.In this race, left-wing voters feel they have no runner. If they vote

:11:16. > :11:19.Macron, for many, it will be with a heavy heart.

:11:20. > :11:22.A committee of MPs says children's education and well being are harmed

:11:23. > :11:25.by the use of annual tests to judge primary schools in England.

:11:26. > :11:28.The Commons Education Select Committee says SATS tests can lead

:11:29. > :11:31.to pupils being taught a narrower curriculum, and staff teaching

:11:32. > :11:40.It said it caused a negative impact on teachers and pupils.

:11:41. > :11:44.Even from a young age, children are well accustomed to being tested. But

:11:45. > :11:51.MPs are worried the important being placed well nowadays in isolated

:11:52. > :11:54.tests leads to a multitude of problems forced the results are used

:11:55. > :12:00.to judge schools in annual performance tables which creates a

:12:01. > :12:06.high-stakes environment damaging to pupils and teachers, according to

:12:07. > :12:10.this report. These year six pupils are gearing up for their test. It is

:12:11. > :12:15.a good school in a challenging area of London. The reality is chosen at

:12:16. > :12:24.the age of ten and 11, will do an hour 's test which will show their

:12:25. > :12:31.reading and writing the next four years. It is a very high-stakes our.

:12:32. > :12:36.The report recommends scrapping the annual publication of tests in

:12:37. > :12:39.favour of an three-year average that is rolling. Teachers unions say this

:12:40. > :12:44.reinforces what they have been saying for years. One union

:12:45. > :12:48.described the current system as toxic. We have been clear for a long

:12:49. > :12:51.time that the current system is not fit for purpose. We are happy to see

:12:52. > :12:55.this report acknowledging this. We have been working with the

:12:56. > :12:59.government to try and bring about long-term improvements, there are

:13:00. > :13:02.encouraging signs but still a long way to go yet. Ofsted is urged to

:13:03. > :13:08.take the focus of tests and looked for a broad and balanced curriculum

:13:09. > :13:14.in it expects and to prevent teaching to test. Ofsted says it

:13:15. > :13:15.already considers a broad curriculum and will consider that government

:13:16. > :13:18.report. This week millions of voters

:13:19. > :13:20.in England will elect a new kind of politician -

:13:21. > :13:23.the first-ever metro-mayors as power is devolved from Westminster

:13:24. > :13:25.to some English regions. There are six areas

:13:26. > :13:27.electing a metro-mayor, including the West Midlands,

:13:28. > :13:29.from where our Home Editor Mark In a Baptist Church on the edge

:13:30. > :13:37.of Birmingham, the pews are filling Nothing to do with the national

:13:38. > :13:40.or the local campaigns, though. They're coming to scrutinise

:13:41. > :13:42.candidates for something entirely Thank you to our candidates, who

:13:43. > :13:52.must be all husting-ed out by now. Whoever gets the job will oversee

:13:53. > :13:55.the lives of 3 million people and an economy worth ?120 billion,

:13:56. > :13:59.inheriting powers currently Oversight of the region's transport,

:14:00. > :14:05.housing and economic development. We gave each candidate ten

:14:06. > :14:10.seconds to explain why We need to take back control

:14:11. > :14:16.of the West Midlands from London. We've been run directly by London

:14:17. > :14:20.politicians for 40 years, People here voted against having

:14:21. > :14:24.a mayor, it's really clear from the campaign so far,

:14:25. > :14:26.they don't want The reason we're having

:14:27. > :14:29.one is the government says to have more money,

:14:30. > :14:31.we have to have one. We need a West Midlands mayor

:14:32. > :14:34.as a champion and advocate, as a social entrepreneur,

:14:35. > :14:36.to deliver a self-made place. That person's got to speak

:14:37. > :14:40.up for us in London, And that person's also got to deal

:14:41. > :14:44.with the issues that can only be To fight the cuts that we constantly

:14:45. > :14:48.get from Westminster, and also to keep control and open up

:14:49. > :14:51.the secret combined authority. We need plenty of extra democracy,

:14:52. > :14:57.we need a new system, Birmingham's most famous mayor,

:14:58. > :15:02.liberal Joseph Chamberlain, ran the city at the height

:15:03. > :15:08.of its municipal greatness. He controlled the supply

:15:09. > :15:11.of water, electricity, gas. He controlled the police service

:15:12. > :15:14.and the fire service, and for some, the new metro-mayor is a welcome

:15:15. > :15:17.return of power As well as Birmingham,

:15:18. > :15:24.the mayor's constituency includes Coventry and Walsall,

:15:25. > :15:28.Dudley and Sandwell, So what do the passengers

:15:29. > :15:34.on the Wolverhampton tram think? The worry is that the smaller

:15:35. > :15:38.conurbations around the West Midlands won't get as much

:15:39. > :15:42.as everywhere else. As long as it's a fair crack

:15:43. > :15:46.for everybody then, yeah, go for it. I think it's yet another layer

:15:47. > :15:51.of very expensive bureaucracy, when in essence the country

:15:52. > :15:55.is controlled by central government. I don't know anything

:15:56. > :16:00.about it to be honest. Have you not been hearing

:16:01. > :16:02.anything about it? I watch a lot of reality

:16:03. > :16:05.programmes, I've not Watched over by Chamberlain's ghost,

:16:06. > :16:13.the regeneration of Birmingham's city centre symbolises

:16:14. > :16:15.what a metro-mayor should Get it right, and more

:16:16. > :16:19.control may be granted. Get it wrong, and the most radical

:16:20. > :16:22.devolution of English power Mark Easton, BBC News,

:16:23. > :16:31.the West Midlands. They might be vital for the economy,

:16:32. > :16:33.carrying five billion people every year to shop,

:16:34. > :16:36.work and study, yet bus services outside of London are in crisis,

:16:37. > :16:38.according to campaigners. Councils across England and Wales

:16:39. > :16:41.have cut their bus budgets by a third since 2010,

:16:42. > :16:46.affecting thousands of routes. And it's the young,

:16:47. > :16:48.the less well off and those living in small villages,

:16:49. > :16:53.towns and the countryside Our Transport Correspondent

:16:54. > :16:58.Richard Westcott reports. Time's running out

:16:59. > :17:00.for many of our buses. They carry three times more people

:17:01. > :17:02.than the trains but thousands of council-subsidised routes have

:17:03. > :17:07.gone in recent years. This is the 267 late-night

:17:08. > :17:15.service from Bath to Frome. It's one of the services

:17:16. > :17:18.that is facing cuts across the country, and in fact come

:17:19. > :17:21.September the funding for this service is going to

:17:22. > :17:26.run out completely. Most of the passengers

:17:27. > :17:28.on this bus are young, like Holly, who works

:17:29. > :17:33.lates in a restaurant. And Josh, who goes

:17:34. > :17:35.to college in Bath. They can't afford to drive,

:17:36. > :17:38.catch the more expensive train It's a really, really big deal

:17:39. > :17:45.because you just can't find the same opportunities in a small town

:17:46. > :17:48.like Frome, so being able to travel daily and nightly back from Bath,

:17:49. > :17:52.it's really important to me being able to earn enough money

:17:53. > :17:54.to live independently. How much longer have

:17:55. > :17:57.you got potentially going How are you going to get

:17:58. > :18:03.there for the next three years? Bath and North East Somerset Council

:18:04. > :18:09.says other authorities should help fund the service because

:18:10. > :18:13.the passengers come First Bus has helped keep it

:18:14. > :18:17.going for a few extra months, but in reality unless a campaign can

:18:18. > :18:20.drum up more passengers, It's a story reflected across much

:18:21. > :18:28.of England and Wales. Campaigners say nearly 3,000

:18:29. > :18:34.council-subsidised routes have been 500 of them last year when two

:18:35. > :18:41.thirds of local authorities First Group run a fifth

:18:42. > :18:48.of the buses outside London, which is where these

:18:49. > :18:50.cuts are happening. We want to carry more customers,

:18:51. > :18:53.that's how we are successful, is how the communities

:18:54. > :18:55.we serve are successful. When we are criticised for bus cuts

:18:56. > :18:58.or whatever, we do take it hard. We only ever withdraw a service

:18:59. > :19:04.as a very last resort and of course very often at the moment

:19:05. > :19:06.a service is being withdrawn because of reductions

:19:07. > :19:08.in local authority funding. Councils say years of cuts

:19:09. > :19:12.in government funding have forced A new Buses Bill will soon give them

:19:13. > :19:18.more powers to improve services, but back on the 267,

:19:19. > :19:22.passengers know that once their bus disappears, it almost

:19:23. > :19:24.never comes back. A new photograph of Princess
